10 THE OMAITA DAILY TIEE: TIIUKSDAY, JANUARY 15, 1003. TWO ROADS FILE PROTESTS Elkhorn and Mintieaoolia 4 Omaha AdMrrs Board of Equalization HONOR ONLY STATE BOARD'S ASSES WENT Dewy that Aay J"rldlp tloa to Chance It or to Make Another I)r'i Proceeding. ft Board of Equalization resumed mis lay yesteMsy marning at 10 o'clock and coosutned considerable time In hearing ap plicants for reduction of small assessments without effecting any noticeable diminution in the large stack of applications on file. Then It became apparent that If the session of the board was not to be continued in definitely some sort of system must be adopted, and It waa decided to refer the ap plications with the exception of some few that will require special consideration to Tax Commissioner Fleming for Investiga tion and report. The applications thus re ferred were sixty-four In number, and as Mr. Fleming has already investigated nearly all of them, he said he would be able to begin submitting hla report and recom mendations very aoon. The board will the take up the applications in regular order and act upon them as promptly aa possible. Just before the adjournment for the day the board heard from the railroads of the Northwestern system in the form of pro teats on the part of the Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis A Omahtt Railway company and the Fremont, Elkhorn Missouri Val ley Railroad company against the Jurisdic tion of this board to accept any assess ment of its properties from the tax com missioner and Board of Review. These protests. Bled by B. T. White and J. B. Sheean, aa attorneys for the corona lies mentioned, are modeled after those filed with the Board of Review, and In effect are the same except for the fact that they are brought up to date and embrace the pro ceedings of that body in the general pro test. Prefer State Board' Flora re. In the protest of the Chicago, St. Taul. Minneapolis & Omaha road It Is related with much legal verbiage that by authority of aectlons 39 and 40, article 1. of chapter Ixxvll of the compiled statutes of Nebraska, the State Board of Equalization has fixed the valuation of the property of that com pany for taxation In the city of Omaha for 1903 at $20,748; that Tax Commissioner Fleming, without authority of law, made an assessment of that property of (2,074,800 and the Board of Review raised that amount to $2,500,000. The. company protests against the assessment of Mr. Fleming and the action of the Board of Review and "protests against the city council, sitting as a board of equalization, or any of lta members ac cepting that assessment of equalizing or pretending to equalize the valuation of the property of the protestant for taxation for municipal purposes for 1903, for the reason that netthef the tax commissioner, nor the Board of Review, nor the city council or any other person or official body of the city of Omaha has jurisdiction to make an as sessment or Increase the aame or report the aame to the city council of the city of Omaha sitting as a board of equalization or to equalize or levy taxes upon such illegal assessment. The protest relating to the Fremont, Elkhorn ft Missouri Valley road ia the aame, except as to the figures, the valua tion placed upon the property of that road by the state board having been 112,924, the assessment of Mr. Fleming, $1,292,400, and the amount aa flxd by the Board of Review, $886,000. Some Small Redactions Granted. The board apent the afternoon In con alderlng the applications reported back with recommendations by the tax com missioner and a number of small reduc tion were granted. The total number of cases considered was 109 and In about half of these reductions were allowed. Throughout the entire day the board was working with a bare quorum, consisting of Messrs. Karr, Mount, Zlmman, Trostler and Lobeck, and the fact provoked some unfavorable comment on the part of the members who were in attendance Mr. Hascall was excused by reason- of absence from the city and Mr. Hoye was unable to be present because of illness, but the clerk was Instructed to particularly request the other two to be present at the meeting of today. PETITION PROVES BOOMERANG Edward Garake Asks for Divorce, bat Jadare Grant decree to Wife. Edward Gurske's divorce petition has proved a boomerang. He asked the district court to cut the bonds that held hlra to Julia and Judge Day did so, but he cut the aald bonda at Julia's end, issuing the de cree to the defendant Instead of the plaintiff, on the ground that he had been cruel to her, and further ordering that he pay her $3,000 alimony, to secure which she la given a lien on the property accumulated by their Joint effort. Also she gets all the household furniture except such aa he was using individually, and her apparel. The Gurakes have been married since October 7, 18G6, when the ceremony was performed at Dantsls, Prussia. Bad wares are never cheap" French Proverb A homely truth too often for gotten. It does not, how ever, follow that good ware are always dear. Take, for In trance, the case of Gorham Silver Everyone knows that there is no finer silver ware to be procured, but not everyone, per haps, recognizes that to procure it entails no greater initial outlay than is needed for the productions of anony mous makers lacking that inestimable guar antee, the Gorham trade-mark. All responsible JeweUr keep to CTfKUNO STUDENTS BUMPC0AL DRIVER Athlete hw Their Disapproval of Driver's Treatment of Team. v The Humane society discovered an ally In an unexpected quarter Tuesday after noon when a little group of atudenta of the Omaha Dental college at Twelfth and Pa cific administered chastisement of a rigor ous nature to a coal wagon driver who wouldn't give his name before the incident and who certainly cannot be expected to do so now. His wsgon waa heavily loaded, and the man seemed to be a little that way. Awk wardly, he so guided hla exhausted team that near the top of the Pacific street grade, a short distance from the college, a front wheel struck a small stone that had gotten there, no one know how. The team stalled with a Jerk that unseated the driver and made him mad. Instead of slacking back and driving around the obstacle, or of getting off and removing It, he lashed hla horses to make them pull over it. Six students were lust leaving the col lege. They were mate atudenta with large courage and large muscle. They calculate some day to maul the Jawa off Innocent women and babes without compunatlon and In the Interest of science and sweet breath, but they wouldn't stand to see that drlver'a horses suffer. "Go 'round," called one. "Get off and move the block," shouted another. Without pausing In his whipping tha driver turned hla face toward them Just long enough to shout back a lurid, bluster ing remark to the general effect that he was managing hla own business. Those alx large male atudenta discussed the subject about three seconds and then they rushed. After that thlnga happened very rapidly. In fact, before he quite knew what waa doing the driver was at the aide of the street, In a horizontal attitude and with hla leg projecting on either side of a stolid, unyielding upright post. The six male students who clasped him on either side agitated hla personality In such manner as to produce a Utteral swaying motion, in one direction terminating when the stu dents' arms had stretched as far as they could, and in the other direction ter tnat ing when hla coccyx had been placed a Im mediate Juxtaposition with the upright post. In other words, they "bumped" him. They "bumped" him so well and so enthuslaa tocally that they Jarred htm loose from even his old habits of cruelty and persuaded him that It would be worth while to remove the stone which bad stalled his horses and he did. REALTY MEN ARE ENCOURAGED Wead and Cre Satisfied with Con sultation with Member of ' I.earlalatare. F. D. Wead and W. Q. TJre, chairman and secretary, respectively, of the Real Estate exchange tax committee, returned yesterday morning from Lincoln, where they went in the intereet. of the committee's bill to re peal the charter provision excepting the railroads from the operation of the general revenue law of the city. "We were much encouraged," aald Mr. Wead, "over the reception we received. Lincoln ia in the same flje aa Omaha with, regard to the unjust provision and the rep resentatives from Lancaster county prom ised to stand by us to the finish. "The greatest trouble we experienced waa the fact that ao many of the members of the legislature aeemed to think that the change we desire would have some bad ef fect upon the amount of money received by the interior counties of the state from the railroads. We explained to them that tha taxation of railroads for municipal purposes In Omaha had no more effect upon the taxes paid by those roads In the counties of the state than would a apeclal tax for paving levied upon property owned by the roada In Jhls city. When they understood this they aeemed to be favorable to us. "Our impression la that there are ao many members of the legislature that will atand for what la right that we will have the un just provision of the chartera of Omaha, South Omaha and Lincoln repealed by the present session." science: settles it. Dandruff I tamed by a Germ that Sap the Hair' Vitality. It ia now a aettled fact that, dandruff ia caused by a germ. Falling hair and bald ness are the result of dandruff. Dr. E. J. Beardsley of Champaign, 111., got hold of the new hair preparation, Newbdo'a Herpl clde the only one that kills the dandruff germ. He says: "I used Herplclde for my dandruff and falling hair and I am well satisfied with the result." Dr. J. T. Fugate of Urbana, 111., aaya: "I bava used Herpl clde for dandruff with excellent results.- 1 shall prescribe it In my practice." Herpl clde kills the dandruff germ.

GROWERS ENJOY MANY ADVANTAGES HERE Xaisre Combines All the Requisite of Climate, Altitude and Soil to Produce Large and Best of Beet. 'South Platte yalley beet augar factoriea will produce one-fourth of the augar con sumed in the United States," . aald George ' McDonough, immigration agent of the Union Pacific railway. Mr. McDonough waa com- j mentlng upon the recent interview with I Secretary of Agriculture Wilson on this topic, aa published by the Associated Press. ( In that interview Mr. Wilson gave great . prominence to the Industry in the South Platte country, and Mr. McDonough ia highly gratified at ita finding, following bo closely upon the visit to that aectlon by the beet sugar experts, Prank Roderua of the Beet Sugar Gazette and A. Munsey of , Detroit. Continuing, Mr. McDonough said: "In the east they have been accustomed to regard 14 per cent augar in beeta aa a good average, and when they find that the average in the South Platta ia from 17 to 22 per cent .they are naturally amazed, es pecially when they consider the heavy ton nage that we aecure here. In the east the average tonnage per acre la seven, while in the South Platte the average per acre ia eighteen to twenty-five tone. Nature Favors Nebraska. "It seems aa if nature had experimented with augar beeta in every other section of the globe and applied her conclusions by combining all the requisites ot climate, al titude and soli to produce them on a grand n.l.

J .... i advantage we nave ia tnat we ao not nave to weed our beets aa they do in the east. where they have to pay as high aa $15 to (20 per acre for weeding alone. "I cannot aay that I am aurprised that our average la better than that of the east. tor it is a recognized fact that the aunshlne haa more to do with the secretion of sac char .ne matter than the soil. The action, not ao much of the heat, but of the light of tn sun, upon the elements ot the air pro duces augar, whereas a great deal ot rain lowera the average. "Another feature la that tha beeta grow to such an enormous size. Big beets ar usually undesirable, aa they are apt to con tain less saccharine matter, but thla ia not the case with large beets that are' grown in the South Platte valley. They are very rich. The large beeta in the South Platte usually average 17V4 per cent augar, or 3V per cent uiore than the eastern beets. The splendid showing ot beeta in Irrigated dis tricts is not so surprising, because we have read ao much about them, but I waa posi tively astounded at the amazing adaptabil ity of aome of the landa in the South Platte."
